 Yummy! January 7, 2008
This cookbook is wonderful, the recipes are easy to follow and they are really good. For vegetarian cooking it offers such a wonderful variety of creative dishes, sauces and salads. The flavors paired together in this cookbook are as interesting as they are delishous. Also, there is a wide variety of types of foods and cuisines which draw from all parts of the world, A+++++!
Outstanding recipes in this book November 21, 2007
I bought this book and have tried many recipes from it, and have many more marked to try!! So far, every single dish has gotten outstanding raves from those who have been my guests .... and the cookbook, to boot. Outstanding, excellent, the first "new" book I've bought in several years (since my cookbook collection is so huge, seemed I'd had almost "everything", in every venue one can imagine... then I came across this one. Very unique recipes unlike any others to try, as I say, delicious so far too and receive raves. The Red Lentil Pate was a huge hit, everyone wanted the recipe at a "food" party I'd held.
 Wait for the next one July 29, 2007

This book is wonderful if you like 70's type vegetarian food. I worked in the kitchen at Kripalu for a fair few years recently and we never used this book.
The menus and complexity of the food has improved and matured over the years. So I would wait until the new book comes out in the next few years.

I like reading cookbooks. I mean, I like reading cookbooks in the same way that I like reading novels. If that's true for you as well, this book is a good choice (only beware, there are no pictures). As far as utility purposes go, this isn't a book for the casual chef. Many of the ingredients are obscure and many of the recipes call for over 10 ingredients. I disagree that it holds up well in the kitchen - I've only actually made a few recipes from it (I agree wholeheartedly about the Tofu-Basil Lasagna - but you can use regular white vinegar instead of umeboshi vinegar) and already some pages threaten to fall out.
I also value a cookbook that can convince me that its recipes have been thoroughly tested. I hate feeling that the money I've spent on the book and on the ingredients (for this book, the ingredients can get costly) as well as my time and effort were all just to satisfy a whim some chef had - instead of concrete evidence that a meal will be tasty. The Kripalu cookbook includes little stories about each recipe that I really appreciate and trust.
If I had unlimited funds and didn't have to work full time, this would be a primary resource in my cookbook collection. As it is, it's definitely a major player in my casual "flipping through" collection.
The recipes I've tried have been worth the price. August 14, 2002

I recommend this book to anyone interested in cooking vegetarian. The tofu basil lasagna alone is worth the price of the book, and I've even pulled off making it for a Christmas dinner (the die-hard meat eaters had no idea, and even had seconds!).
The muesli recipe is excellent, and I've made the garlic green beans a staple in my house.
The only drawback is that there is no nutritional information provided, which is a drag for label-readers like myself.
It may be a silly point, but the book holds up pretty well in the kitchen, what with sauce and splotches mucking it up, and if it ever gets REALLY messed up, I would pay the money to replace it.
Hope this helps anyone with a decision.
